Reading the LINT kernel, I have found the vpo0 device, for the Iomega
Zip (par).

I have tried to put the following lines in my laptop kernel file to use
the parallel zip I own (I own 2 scsi too , but the laptop has no scsi
port :-).

controller      ppbus0
controller      scbus0			# Required ???
controller      ppc0    at isa? port ? irq 7 vector ppcintr
controller      vpo0    at ppbus? 	# Zip Parallelo
device          nlpt0   at ppbus? 	# Stampante      

I disable lpt0 and the nlpt0 seems to be recognized, but the zip
doens't. It is not probed at all ...

Perhaps I miss to add something ?

I am running 3.0-current cvsupped daily 

Thanks for your attention....
